  1. Battle Of Who Could Care Less - Ben Folds Five (Is this song written about MaryAnne? - 2nd verse starts 'And you think Rockford Files is cool ...') (They were both posted at the same time - I think we usually go with the 2nd post)
  2. (UK winner of the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest)
  3. You're correct Roger - you're all wrong . texasdaisy was closest - it was 75 years. An easier one from 'Double Sting' now: Q. Which characters were Wendel and Irving planning to dress as for their next bank robbery?.
  4. (No 'God' by Tori Amos then ? )
  5. Oh My God - Kaiser Chiefs or Oh My God - Lily Allen/Mark Ronson
  6. If I Should Fall from Grace with God - The Pogues
  7. Take The Last Train Home - King Curtis
  8. (I'm betting the next post won't use the word 'Transcentral' .)
  9. They do make pit stops in F1, although it's only for tires this year (previously tires and fuel) - they're quicker than NASCAR as well because they have about 12 people in the pit crew. The crew all wear fireproof outfits and helmets, and it looks like they modified the normal ones to look a bit like Star Wars outfits rather than exact copies. I can't remember whether they had them for the race, but they definitely practised with them on - check out Darth with the lollipop :
  10. Great song - you just reminded me, I left 'Christine' off my favorite movies list. So you wouldn't appreciate 'Bad' by Michael Jackson?
  11. Sorry y'all - I just can't narrow it down to 5 . Here's some my favorites (in no particular order): Where Eagles Dare (I'm watching it now) Every Which Way But Loose/Any Which Way You Can Blues Brothers Ferris Bueller's Day Off The Breakfast Club The Italian Job (original) Dirty Harry series Naked Gun series Die Hard series Convoy Life of Brian Smokey & the Bandit (1 & 2) And at Christmas: Miracle on 34th Street (1947 B/W version) Some others that have already been mentioned weren't far off the list.
  12. Thanks for clearing that up Garrett. Teams in F1 tend to keep roughly the same livery throughout the season (and both cars in each team are virtually identical). There are exceptions to this. Sometimes a local sponsor will be added for a race. Occassionally a sponsor will pull out mid-season. When Renault were found guilty of having one driver deliberately crash so the other could win, a couple of major sponsors left. My favorite single race sponsorship deal was Red Bull/George Lucas for the 2005 Monaco Grand Prix: They even dressed the pit crew as stormtroopers and Darth Vader: More pictures here.
  13. (Garrett - if I'd gone with 'Talk Talk Talk' by The Ordinary Boys, would that count as a 3 word title? )
  14. I finally got 'round to watching highlights of the Charlotte race today. I enjoyed the battle for 2nd in last 10 or so laps. Garrett, I know you missed the beginning, but Ryan Newman had a spin early on. I remembered him as the Army car, but couldn't see any Army sponsorship on his car - has he changed sponsors or did I remember it wrong?
  15. (Could've gone with 'Cry' by Godley & Creme, but we're back to the old one word thing again )
  16. wife (only because it reminds me of one of my favorite Steven Wright jokes: "A friend of mine has a trophy wife, but apparently it wasn't first place.")
  17. (Just found I have this on the b-side of 'Cool Jerk' ).
  18. Beat Box - Art of Noise (Don't worry - I did the same earlier - it's like playing a double at dominoes - you limit the other players' options ).
  19. Hi Garrett. No, I wasn't scared off or bored. I didn't get to see the last couple of races for reasons beyond my control. I think I have last week's highlights recorded - I may get a chance to watch it back tomorrow.

  20. Looks like you're the only one playing this one texasdaisy. Your guess was spot on - well done. Q. While we're on 'Double Sting', Boss gets locked in the upstairs jail cell. How long ago was it last used?
